Dan Mullen has made one thing abundantly clear so far this offseason: he will not be pressured into making staff changes that he doesn’t feel are necessary. Mullen’s conviction in his ways and his determination to carry out his vision for the program will, for better or worse, go a long way toward defining his tenure at UF.
Despite fielding a defense that gave up the most yards per game of any Florida team since at least 1945, Mullen ignored fans’ pleas to fire defensive coordinator Todd Grantham. Instead, he opted to only part ways with the two secondary coaches, Torrian Gray and Ron English, clearly believing the defensive issues to be a product of poor positional coaching and not a flawed scheme.
